Potager update

Last weekend had the most delicious sunshine which made for an amazing change from the usual weekend weather.

So in between ferrying various sons here, there and everywhere, Himself and I continued to work in the garden. The large potager now has a number of the new beds filled with the most yumpcious home grown compost - as a result of more luck than good garden husbandry I have to add.

The smaller potager - which I have ear marked as the 'Saladary' is now in action as Youngest and I have sown radish and various salad crops (hence the name).

As usual the weekend evaporated with indecent haste - and as I have twisted my knee - gardening has been put on hold (temporarily) while my knee starts to feel well again. Any hoo - that's what happens when you are a stampcrab*!

*Isn't that a wonderful word? I learnt it on Monday and it means heavy footed or clumsy.

Post script...
A day or two has passed since I wrote this post and my knee is behaving surprisingly well, well enough to do a little bit of tentative gardening and to be able to return to volunteering at the walled garden on Thursday - I am so looking forward to being out there again :)

I now have a new pair of secateurs. And new garden gloves. I can snip, chop, dreaded brambles but cannot bend yet to pick up. Have been promised by Him indoors that if I miss the trug he will clear. Cant wait.

It's sure looking different to when we saw it last year. Progress is sometimes slow, but I can see the changes even from afar. Ooh, back in the walled garden, how exciting, but don't overdo it. OK? Have a lovely end of week & take care.

I would never call you a stampcrab...hope knee gets well soon. Look forward to see your saladary change from brown earth to green salad plants. Nice and handy for your garden and being a raised bed everything will be easy and convenient to maintain and harvest. xx

Mr GBT is making plans for the raised beds he built last year. So far we have onions peeping out. It gladdens the heart to see a violet doesn't it. I suggest you don't drop by my blog tomorrow then as I've just scheduled a post about slugs!Arilx
